Erik Paquet, Editor-in-Chief

Erik joined the AwardWallet team in 2018. He attended the University of Michigan where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. During school, he discovered points and miles as a way to fund frequent international trips and a semester abroad in Santiago Chile.

Following school, he began traveling full time and co-founded Abroaders.com, a startup that helps travelers earn and redeem rewards points for maximum value.

Erik first connected with AwardWallet while looking for a tool to manage complex award bookings for clients. With the help of the AwardWallet booking platform, he and his team have redeemed over 49 million points for 2.2 million in airfare savings.

Erik lives in Austin, Texas with his wife Gabriela. When not obsessing about points and miles, his hobbies include cooking, photography, learning languages, exploring national parks, watching Michigan athletics (Go Blue!) and of course, travel.

Jeff found his way to miles and points while researching a trip more than a decade ago, and has been hooked ever since. Over the years, he has taken his family all over the world, with his kids having already traveled to 6 continents and over 25 countries.

From speaking at major conferences such as the Chicago Seminars and Frequent Traveler University to writing for several prominent travel sites, Jeff has proven himself to be one of the world’s foremost experts in the travel and loyalty program space.

Jeff has visited over 50 countries and is always sure to try the local beers wherever he goes. When at home, he spends most of his spare time searching for open award seats and planning his next few vacations.
